Levels of mesothelin positive MPs in peritoneal dialysates as determined by flow cytometry.
Note. PD solution consisted of Dianeal 4.25%. Total mesothelial MP counts (identified as particles of 0.1-1.0 µm with immunostaining for mesothelin) normalized to drain volumes are reported as the estimated total number of mesothelial MPs in the PD cavity. MPs = microparticles; PD = peritoneal dialysis.
*P < .05 vs initial MP concentration in effluent collected immediately after PD initiation. +P < .01 vs 1 hour. #P < .01 vs 2 hours, n = 5-8.
